Research Interests
My research has focused on burning behaviors of multiple pool fires in different restricted conditions (free space, unconfined ceiling, long confined space, etc.). Recently I have focused on the extreme fire behaviors in wildland fires. The method combining the theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and experimental analysis is adopted in my research.
